i have the same problem, skin and muscle in upper body are are sensitive and even hurts to touch, goes away in about 8 hrs. let me know if u find any info. only thing ive found that is similar cause (rhabdomyolysis)

Alcohol dehydrates your body & can cause aches or muscle spasms. It could also be something with your kidney's! I'd see a Doctor!!

The symptoms you described are exactly the same as what I get after drinking alcohol- until now I've never come across anyone else who has the same problem! People think I'm exaggerating when I tell them about it!
Have you found out any more information?

You can be allergic to alcohol and often get rashes, but this seems more serious. Alcohol thins the blood, this can cause bruising, also why you can feel achy after a night out. So does ibuprofen, so if you're taking it for the hangover, you can get even more bruising. Also the liver can play a part in blood clotting. Alcohol affects liver, connection? Maybe this means alcohol will make you more susceptible to bruising from very minor injuries.

I get the same thing but not every time I drink alcohol. I can go months without it ever bothering me. I can have one or two drinks and I notice my hand(s) start hurting. Then the pain slowly climbs up my arms until it is a deep throbing pain almost like the feel of growing pains. I have to lay completely still for the pain to slightly dull and if I move my arms at all it is the intense pain again. I talked to my rhuematologist about it because I have Still's Disease (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and it is in remission) but she basically laughed it off and said "don't drink". Just want to figure out why it happens sometimes and others it does not.

Hello all, the same has happened to me for the first time. With a tiny difference. its been more than 24 hours after i had a lot of alcohol , and ive had mild pain on my lower back and lower abdomen, this is the first time that something like this happens, and i believe and i believe that i've been dehydrated or i might still be dehydrated,also my urine has a clear color when usually it tends to be slightly yellow,anyhow i'm not sure if the pain is something normal or if i should consult a doctor ASAP. please someone respond to my comment with any suggestions

I experience almost the same symptoms.. Not everytime, it has happened twice, that when i drink heavily on one day, the next day, I feel severe pain in my left arm going down till my fingers.. the pain is very harsh and reduces only when the hand is laid still for some time. Any movement starts the pain pver again.. the pain only subsides after massage with antipain rubs, much pain killers and long sleep... should I conslt doctor? Or its normal
